A new step - the Roma Nova box set

As Book 5, INSURRECTIO, starts on its editorial journey and I’m mapping out Book 6 in my head, I realised I’d written over half a million words. And that’s not counting the two non-fiction books, Military or Civilians? and The 500 WordWriting Buddy, now in its second edition. Perhaps the over 400 posts on my two blogs, the first dating back to March 2010, would add a few more thousand to the total.

With Book 6, the second Roma Nova trilogy featuring Aurelia Mitela and her nemesis will be finished. As I work toward that, I decided to bundle the first three books, INCEPTIO, PERFIDITAS and SUCCESSIO into a (hopefully enticing) set to attract new readers.

I’m not ‘bigging myself up’ – a gloriously awful, but descriptive phrase – but once discovered, readers do tend to like the stories. So I stirred my brains and asked them to find a way to introduce Roma Nova as easily as possible to new readers. The box set gives readers all three stories at once. And it’s terrific value with over 900 pages for £3.99/$5.99/4.99€.

It’s out on 10 November and can be pre-ordered now from Amazon worldwide, iBooks/Apple and Kobo and from B&N Nook and Nook Book from 12 November. But it’ll only be available for approximately 90 days until 31 January 2016, so best not to hang around.

So if you know somebody who hasn’t yet found their way yet to Roma Nova, you might like to suggest they start with this box set.
